Since you've been gone The sun don't come around Remember the last time We laid our burden down? Your eyes were so green Seemed like summer would just go on and on Now it looks like fall Tends to prove us wrong I know it's not easy To bring faith across a canyon But time isn't kind It's much wider then you imagined But here's a bridge Made of smoke and thin air And here's a shred Of hope to get you there She says my name It rolls around her tongue When the sunlight fades The moon asks for me to come Don't ever go so Far from me again The one who leaves grieves For the one who feels abandoned I've never been one To sit around and count the days The calender just moans The bed never gets made But I decided to sit still And wait by my window For peace in my time With a woman I know When broken hearts break With that avalanche on the horizon You and I got out scars Searching for life beneath the last one But I packed my boat And I hope it's sea worthy I don't know the river But I'm ready for the journey She says my name It rolls around her tongue When the sunlight fades The moon asks for me to come Don't ever go so Far from me again The one who leaves grieves For the one who feels abandoned
